Ask Amy Parking Permit Abuse and Cleaning Lady Advice
A reader questions a healthy mother-in-law who keeps using a late husband’s handicap permit. Amy advises setting boundaries and leaving the entrance drop off to avoid illegal parking. In a second query, a homeowner asks whether to raise, warn, or fire a long‑time cleaning lady whose work has declined. Amy suggests clarifying duties, adjusting hours, and renegotiating pay based on task completion.
